Could you please remove pending orders from margin requirements?

Could you please remove pending orders from margin requirements?

In other brokers (such as IB), only opened positions count in maintenance margin value, not pending orders.

Hi @boup09

Thank you for reaching out. 

We took a business decision to include initial margin of pending orders. The purpose of this was to reflect the margin requirement status on the account. This is to protect our clients from placing new trades which might result into a margin call as soon as the position is opened.

Thanks, OfentseIG
